Russia-Ukraine Crisis: Indian Embassy in Ukraine Issues New Advisory Amid Russian Invasion
An Air India flight meant to land in Kyiv to help bring back Indians had to turn around this morning. Flights over Ukraine were cancelled as the country closed its airspace for commercial planes.
After Russia invaded neighbouring Ukraine this morning, the Indian embassy has issued a set of guidelines to students and others who live in the country. Kyiv was among the cities targeted by Russia. The Indian embassy warned that citizens "traveling to Kyiv, including those traveling from western parts of Kyiv, are advised to return to their respective cities temporarily, especially towards safer places along the western bordering countries."
